    the unknown ? of sanctions for USC could be a major shift in power on the west coast if the hammer drops.FSU's is simple the defense imprves to just avg. 10 or more wins are possible. Nice pc. with fair assesment on each team.

    Hey Sam,
    I loved Wisconsin. It was a great tour and I could really see myself there. A few questions I didn't get answered. Why is the journalism program only two years? Also, what internship opportunities do you have there? And where do a lot of alumni go?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi Sam,

    I'm going around to fellow Big Ten fans to gage who they would most like to see as the conferences 12th member in the expansion. It's big news and is certainly creating quite an excitement.

    Thanks for the article "like" Sam. I've also got a question for you. I'm a junior in high school right now and I'm looking at going to school at Wisconsin and being a trader to my Hawkeyes. I'm also interested in majoring in journalism and I was just wondering what you think of UW-Madison. Just drop a note about them, the j-school, and if you would reccommend it or not on my profile if you have time.

    Thanks,
    Kevin Trahan
